What I would like to do is have only one server but to be able to split the work between 2 computers

here’s what I want to do :

same server so I don’t have to change the server in the app but :

computer 1 manage and transcode the movies
computer 2 manage and transcode the series

thanks

You can have separate PCs by library, but each will act and behave as an individual server. You’ll need to manage permissions and invites individually, and depending on your chosen client (Roku, Xbox, etc…) you may need to bounce back and forth between them to access the different areas.

Unfortunately there is no way to load balance a single server between two PCs, which, I think is what you’re looking for.
